I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, and swore we'd never part

Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts

At first I thought it was just restlessness

That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep


And I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue

Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do


She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters

And they made her feel one hundred years old

And I'm driving a stolen car

On a pitch black night
And I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright
But I ride by night and I travel in fear

That in this darkness I will disappear
